There are two great big strong muscles in your head that can actually cause pain sensations in your teeth! It might FEEL as though your teeth are the problem but surprise! It’s muscles.
The muscles in your temples can cause tooth pain. Here’s the link to an article:

Or it might be the strong strap of muscle that holds your jaws together:

When you feel pain in your teeth–especially if you also have a sensation of tightness, pain or tenderness on your head–and your dentist says, “Nothing is wrong,” consider muscles.
These same muscles are responsible for a lot of TMJ pain!
While the roles of muscles are pretty much overlooked by most medical doctors they can be (and are!) responsible for most of our pain.
This means that if you have pain in your teeth–BUT NO DENTAL PROBLEM–the cause of the painful sensations in your teeth may be caused by muscles on the sides of your head.
The good news is that muscles can be treated naturally. 🙂
A highly skilled, well educated massage therapist may be able to help rehabilitate those muscles.
Some therapists know how to treat the muscles in the jaw from inside the mouth and that’s far superior to pressing into hard strap muscles from outside the cheek.
Self-help trigger point or massage therapy is also a good option for getting rid of the pain in your teeth that’s caused by muscles.
